Clean Energy: Wind Power as an Alternative Energy Source

Clean Currents is a for-profit energy supplier focused on bringing affordable, renewable energy to the masses. The infrastructure and policies are available to make this possible. There is mass misinformation in our country that renewable energy is either not available or too expensive for residents and small businesses. In order to provide clean energy to more people, we must spread awareness about the option to choose a competitive "green" supplier. Our challenge is to discover a way to inform and activate the public in an effective and engaging way while adhering to a limited budget.

Show your students what can be achieved using observation and experimentation. Show your students that science (which means knowledge in Latin) is power.
